Chapter 75 – Would You Like to Work With Us?

‘How…’

I was surprised to see Park Jeong-kyun, who appeared at the right time.
It was clear that he didn’t come here with an ’emergency quest’ like me.

Anyway,

I checked his information window.
Rating is A.
His overall stats were evenly high, and he had five skills and two special abilities.
It was a much better stat than other average A-class hunters.

“Ugh.”

Kim Chul, who was kicked by Park Jeong-gyun and rolled on the floor, couldn’t get up with a groan.

Park Jung-kyun saw me and shouted.

“Take care of the galaxy!”
“Yes!”

I heard his words and quickly ran to Park Eun-ha.
Park Eun-ha was completely unconscious.
She radiated so much heat that her body couldn’t handle it.

I laid her right on her bed and took her potion from her inventory.
She tilted her head behind her, opened her mouth, and poured her potion into her mouth.
But she couldn’t accept the potion easily because her body was rigid.

Without hesitation, I put the potion in my hand into my mouth.
I put my lips on Park Eun-ha’s lips while holding the solution.
Only then was it relatively easy to inject the potion into her body.

Park Eun-ha’s consciousness did not return immediately, but she could see the heat that enveloped her body slowly diminishing.
The scorched burn marks slowly healed.
I poured another bottle of potion into her mouth.

“Ugh…”

Finally, a moan escaped Park Eun-ha’s mouth.

I picked her up
And he fell far away from the place where Park Jeong-gyun and Kim Cheol were fighting.

The sight of the two fighting was formidable.
I know from seeing it first, but Kim Cheol was never a weak hunter.
However, in front of Park Jeong-gyun, he was like a child.

Park Jeong-kyun beat Kim Cheol almost as if he was not wearing any equipment.
Kim Chul had a formidable skill called ‘flame launch’, but in order to use it, he had to collect mana in his palm.
The cooldown was never long, but Park Jung-kyun didn’t give it a chance.

Every time Park Jung-gyun punched and kicked, his bones shattered and his intestines burst.
There was no hesitation in his hands at all.
As if hunting monsters in a dungeon, he unilaterally tapped Kim Chul.

It was similar to the first-class underground guild hunters I had seen in my previous life.
They never hesitated to use their abilities against their fellow humans.
That was the reason why they had a comparative advantage over the Hunters of Yangji.

In the end, Kim Chul, who had become covered in blood, slumped.

Park Jeong-gyun grabbed the fallen man by the collar and lifted his upper body. He grabbed his head with both hands.

Wooddeuk-

As he quickly turned Kim Chul’s neck, there was a sound of bones breaking.

“Fuck.”

Park Jung-kyun muttered a low voice and wiped his hands.

He took a cigarette from his inventory and lit it.
He put it in his mouth and threw the lighter, which was still on fire, over Kim Chul’s body.

Blazing-

“Quaaaaagh!”

Kim Cheol, who was still breathing, let out a scream.
Park Jung-gyun took out a small bottle from his inventory, opened the lid, and poured it over Kim Chul’s body.

Roaring-

The fire grew stronger and Kim Cheol struggled in pain.

It was a brutal scene.

But I knew that Kim Cheol was trying to kill Park Eun-ha, so I just watched it.
If I had been in my previous life, I wouldn’t have watched people die anyway.
I’ve never killed anyone with my own hands.

But have I changed something in this life?
Even when I saw Kim Cheol burned, I didn’t feel very sorry for him.

Park Jeong-gyun indifferently smoked a cigarette and watched Kim Cheol burn, then threw the cigarette he was smoking on top of him only after he stopped struggling.

Turning around, he walked this way.

“How’s the galaxy?”
“It’s okay. My breathing has stabilized.”
“Mmm.”

Park Jun-gyu crouched down and looked into Park Eun-ha’s wounds.

“You did a good job. Where did you learn this?”
“I just did it instinctively.”
“It’s instinct…”

Park Jung-gyun followed my words, which I had made difficult excuses.
You don’t seem to believe me, but even so, you wouldn’t have thought that I had lived to be forty and returned.

“Let’s go at once.”

Park Jung-kyun walked to his parked car.
I hugged Park Eun-ha and followed him.

【Emergency quest ‘Save Park Eun-ha from danger’ has been completed.]
[As a reward, I acquired ’20 EXP for skills and special abilities’ and ‘Random Quest Creation Ticket’.]

A message that I was not aware of came to mind.
As a result, Park Eun-ha was prevented from being fatally harmed, but that wasn’t even my contribution to it.
If there was a role, it would have been to wait until Park Jeong-gyun arrived.
In any case, the system seemed to regard this as a quest achievement.

It was a pleasure to receive the reward, but more than that, I wanted Park Eun-ha, who was still feeling weak, to recover safely.

“What happened?”

With Park Eun-ha in the back seat, Park Jung-gyun and I drove to a quiet place.
I left the corpse behind, but I thought there was little chance that this incident would escalate significantly.
Kim Chul’s body was completely burned and left no evidence.
Moreover, if his identity is revealed, his deeds will be revealed, which can hardly be called good or exemplary.
In this case, the incident does not spread significantly.

Administrative power, including the police force, lacks the physical power to crack down on the flight of hunters.
Hunters tried not to get involved in things that were not related to their profit or loss.
Kim Chul must have been a person who moved alone without a place to belong to, and if that was the case, there was a high possibility that this matter would be quietly buried.

It was already concluded that Park Jung-kyun decided to leave the scene without taking any action.

“What happened?”

Park Jeong-gyun, who stopped the car, opened his car window.
He pulled out another cigarette and asked me.

I told him what had happened to Park Eun-ha.
The fact that she tried to investigate Park Da-in, and that Park Da-in dug into Park Eun-ha’s back and instigated Kim Chul.

To some extent, Park Jeong-gyun would have known.
There was absolutely no reason to hide anything.

“Whoa~”

Park Jung-kyun blew a long cigarette smoke out of the car window.
Even after hearing my story, he did not respond in any way.

“You are Choi Seong-gyu, right?”
“Yes.”

Park Jeong-gyun knew my name.
I wasn’t really surprised by this.
Because I thought he would already know something about me.
In this regard, the underground guild is thorough.
Even if Park Eun-ha was acting rather arbitrarily, the guild hardly missed her tracks.

Park Jung-gyun was the team leader of Park Eun-ha’s team in the guild, and he would of course take care of this part.
Moreover, he seemed to have a special attachment to Park Eun-ha, even though he did not know the reason.

“What do you think of our galaxy?”

In a way, it was a question that had nothing to do with what had happened today.
Of course, it was also a question that could not be asked if Park Eun-ha and I were simply friends.

It was clear that Park Jung-gyun knew that Park Eun-ha liked me.
The fact that today’s division arose because of that.

“I have a girlfriend.”
“Hmm…”

Park Jung-kyun threw the cigarette he was smoking away from the window.
I could feel that the sound that came out of his mouth contained an uncomfortable planting.

“It’s bold. Are you saying that because you don’t know who I am?”
“I know you are a person who takes good care of Eunha. And I know what Eunha does.”

Park Jung-gyun looked at me.

“How come you don’t speak like a college student?”
“Yes?”

I was stingy.
Park Jung-gyun’s gaze felt like he was looking into my heart.
But there was no possibility that he would physically figure anything out.

“I hear that a lot.”
“Heo Woo-dae is fine, but he has a unique side. I understand why Eunha likes you.”

The back and forth of the story didn’t match.
You say it’s unique, but why is that the reason Park Eun-ha likes me?
I thought it might just be my taste.

“What is your rank?”
“It’s a C grade.”
“Um… I have one eye for looking at people, right? Would you like to work with us? It’s only natural to meet this girl and that girl when you’re young. Besides, women are naturally attracted to a handsome man like you. That’s not a flaw I’m not saying this because I’m a close older brother, but our Eunha is a really good kid, right? So, if we join our guild together, fall in love, and earn money… Ouch!”

Park Jeong-gyun stopped talking and bent his head.
It turns out that Park Eun-ha, who came to her senses, hit him in the back of the head.

“What are you talking about behind people? Do you want to die?”
“There’s nothing he can’t say to his brother.”
“Don’t call me brother grossly.”
“I saved you, but isn’t it your turn to say thank you first?”
“Thank you…”
“I am.”

Park Jung-kyun held out his business card to me, out of Park Eun-ha’s gaze.
I accepted the business card because I couldn’t resist the wink.
